Nice Carnival from 16th Feb. till 4th March 2007:
Every year in the month of February the Carnival King takes over the town with his comic tricks. No time to be sad! Everything is permitted, with originality and exuberance assured. His ‘Carnival Majesty’ of 2007 will be the ‘king of the great mob’ (king of the Rugby World Master in France) and will reign over the town from 16th February till 4th March. You could be one of his subjects! At this enormous winter event of the Côte d’Azur, the 123rd Nice carnival to take place, the ‘king of the great mob’ in the person of his Majesty will reign over the town. Brightly-coloured processions and lyrical flower processions will alternate on the famous Promenade des Anglais, which will also be decked out with flowers. A range of related events will also be available.
